Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 103
“Guild Master, aren’t you curious about what would happen if an Outsider gets eroded by contamination?”
“I’m… curious too…”
Kim Junhwan, who had halfheartedly agreed, was cautiously trying to grip his weapon.
“Then shall we try it once?”
Cheon Gyuri smiled brightly.
The moment Kim Junhwan drew his sword and twisted his body, enormous magical power moved.
[Activating skill ‘Red Shoes’.]
-Controls the target at will.
Clang!
The weapon Kim Junhwan was holding fell to the ground.
“Huh…?”
He moved forward while abnormally rotating his leg joints.
‘My feet…!’
His body wouldn’t obey him. It was moving beyond his own will.
The end of that direction was the Blood Clot.
The Blood Clot was pulsating as if it were alive.
“Ugh!”
The closer he got to the Blood Clot, the more the contamination suffocated him.
His cheeks, directly exposed to the thick contamination, burned hot. His body felt like it was burning up.
Terrified, he shook his head.
“Stop, stop it!”
However, regardless of his intentions, Kim Junhwan spread both arms wide. Then he embraced the Blood Clot.
Hissssss-!
“Ughhhhhhhhhhh!”
Kim Junhwan’s body burned up as if getting burned.
His terrible screams couldn’t escape the swamp.
A barrier had already been set up around them to prevent sound from leaking out.
Irina curled up her body and crouched down next to the collapsed Kim Junhwan.
“Hmm…”
She narrowed her brow and pressed her lower lip firmly with her index finger.
It seemed that contamination acted on Outsiders like a strong acidic substance.
“Do Outsiders not get contaminated… or are there separate conditions.”
She tilted her head curiously.
She was contemplating whether to experiment a bit more since there were many Outsiders once they left the swamp.
“Irina.”
A low, familiar voice could be heard.
Irina unconsciously turned her head toward where the sound came from.
The black muzzle of a Glock was pointed at her.
Suddenly, Irina’s face and voice filled with joy.
“Zhenya?”
Bang!
* * *
As sunlight filtered through the leaves, Baby Sky Squirrel’s eyes sparkled open.
‘Morning!’
Baby Sky Squirrel stretched while perched on a tree branch.
“Haaaaaaam!”
After yawning so wide his mouth nearly split, he washed his face like a cat and blinked his eyes.
‘Where am I?’
After quenching his thirst with dew from the leaves, he looked around in all directions. No matter how much he rubbed his eyes, everywhere he looked was nothing but forest.
‘Gru, how did it come to this…’
Han Gru slowly recalled the memories from last night.
“I am Gnosis.”
The moment he heard Sergey’s answer, it felt like his vision went white.
Really, his brother was Gnosis?
He didn’t know what to do or what to say.
While he hesitated, unable to open his mouth,
Sergey, who had been covering Han Gru’s eyes, removed his hand and spoke with a terribly distorted face.
“So run away now. Hurry.”
Those words were the signal.
He couldn’t think of anything.
His mind detected instinctive danger and alarm bells rang, and his body reacted first.
As if pushed from behind, Han Gru transformed into a small sky squirrel and leaped out of the train.
Sergey just watched him go.
Even though he could have easily chased after a baby squirrel. He deliberately didn’t pursue him.
After getting off the train like that, he had run all night, then slept on a tree branch and just woken up.
Han Gru sprang up on the tree branch, spread both arms wide, and jumped down with a hop.
“Huchaaaat!”
Baby Sky Squirrel glided a little, sort of flying and sort of not, then landed magnificently on the ground.
Han Gru, who had landed on the ground in a superhero landing pose, shivered his shoulders at the thrilling sensation.
‘Sky squirrel life… might be a little fun.’
If he hadn’t been able to transform into a sky squirrel, he wouldn’t have been able to jump off the train so bravely last night.
When getting off the train, he spread both arms wide and the light sky squirrel caught the wind and soared up. Forgetting that he was in a frantic escape situation, Han Gru’s eyes sparkled as he flew on the wind.
‘Is this… true freedom?’
Of course, it was only for a moment.
‘Squeak?’
Because he soon tumbled and rolled to the ground.
After that, he just ran blindly chasing the train’s rear end.
Han Gru returned to human form and let out a deep sigh.
‘Sergey hyung really is Gnosis.’
The Squirrel Farm where oak leaves rustled when the wind blew.
The peaches that burst with juice when you took a bite.
The sweet and starchy carrot candy.
We spent all that time together.
I believed it must be a misunderstanding.
Tears welled up. Han Gru’s ears and tail drooped sadly.
‘Was he planning to deceive me from the beginning…’
To steal the special acorns? His heart ached with a squeezing pain.
Why did he tell Han Gru to run away?
Han Gru dragged his feet with slow steps for a few paces, then shook his head vigorously.
Though his heart hurt as if hedgehogs were rolling around inside his chest, pricking him.
Sniff. He wiped his stinging nose.
He widened his eyes, afraid that tears might fall at any moment.
‘Han Gru, you have work to do!’
If he didn’t quickly purify the swamp with acorns, this strategy would fail.
‘Strategy failure = dungeon break = major crisis!’
To succeed in the strategy, he had to stop Sergey and help Master.
‘I wonder if Master is okay.’
Just in case, he had left a note under his bag saying that Sergey seemed to be Gnosis.
‘Did he see it?’
If so, did a fight break out between the two…
Master was incredibly strong, and it would probably be a better situation since he didn’t have to fight while protecting Han Gru…
But someone might get injured, or in the worst case…
He was walking lost in thought, worried about various things.
[Sky Squirrel detects contamination.]
[‘Flying Squirrel’s Immunity (Special)’ is activated.]
[Contamination cannot infect Sky Squirrel.]
‘Oh!’
Detecting contamination means?
Soon, what appeared before his eyes was a name plate warning to turn back from the contamination zone and a rope dividing the area.
‘This is it!’
Han Gru crossed the rope and started running.
‘I have to get there in time!’
The purification would need Han Gru’s acorns!
Just then, a crow that had been sitting on the name plate fluttered up into the air.
* * *
Meanwhile, Nao Hyung, who had been following Sergey, stopped walking.
‘Found it!’
The crow that served as Dan’s eyes had discovered a small child.
He gradually slowed his steps behind Sergey, who was entering the deep forest toward the swamp.
Sergey seemed to have lost interest in him now, lost in whatever thoughts he was having.
He had always been a strange fellow, but he had become even more incomprehensible since returning.
Nao Hyung recalled his right arm that had been flowing down like grains of sand.
His heart sank with a chill.
‘If it had been irreversible, by now…’
Since Nao Hyung was also an excellent hunter, it had ended with just his right arm, but otherwise his entire body would have turned to sand and flowed away.
He calmed his breathing that was growing rough with anger and humiliation.
Separating from Sergey now was dangerous. But was moving together safe?
If he had to take risks either way, it would be better to choose the side that could make him stronger.
And that was over there. Nao Hyung carefully increased his distance from Sergey.

“Ouch.”
Irina touched her cheek where the bullet had grazed it. A stream of blood was flowing down her cheek.
Irina smiled as she caressed her blood-stained fingers.
“We meet after so long, and you do this right away?”
Jin Siwon pointed his gun barrel at her with cold eyes.
“Where is Han Gru?”
“Han Gru? What’s that?”
Irina blinked as if she truly didn’t know.
Siwon lowered the gun barrel and immediately pulled the trigger.
Bang!
“Ouch!”
The bullet flew into Irina’s arm, and her arm was gouged so deeply that bone was visible.
Even so, Irina smiled leisurely.
“This much won’t be enough to kill me…”
As she said, her arm was regenerating rapidly.
‘A mannequin?’
Whether it had modified its original body, or simply transferred its consciousness to a mannequin made in Cheon Gyuri’s form…
‘It doesn’t matter.’
Siwon thought coldly and raised his gun barrel with indifference. Looking at the biological reactions, one thing was clear.
“You can feel pain.”
Bang!
After shooting the regenerating arm once more, Siwon spoke coldly.
“Next is your head. The 4-year-old girl you took—where is she?”
